Stacy,
I remember so many conversations with you regarding your family, especially your brother Rod. Unfortunately, this is not your first loss of a family member. The waves of grief, despair, sadness will never completely go away. Right now I imagine you and your family are having a very difficult time as the waves knock you down and you struggle to breath and get up. Please remember your friends are here to help you, listen to your cherished stories about Rod, smile and shed tears with you today, and all the difficult days ahead. The waves will not disappear but will subside in time.
Hugs,
Mary Ann
